Northeast Assembly Thread

[Pheurton Skeurto]

I see the opposing argument and concede. I withdraw my bill.

[Pheurton Skeurto]

I support this bill.

[Pheurton Skeurto]

Aye.

[Pheurton Skeurto]

What a wonderful state of affairs!  I of course oppose this bill.

You just love to be a naysayer, don't you? "Oh I'm a Libertarian!" you're not. You're nothing but a contrarian. You must oppose everything. You're the token nay vote in nearly every bill. You're doing the people of this region no favors by doing that.

Anywho, I suggest we pass this bill because, as stated, we do not have a current tax code. Feel free to amend this bill in the near or distant future, but I suggest we just get a tax code in place. It's a little strange that we don't have one.

[Pheurton Skeurto]

I find sin taxes to be wildly unwholesome. Not to mention that most states attempt to justify their cigarette taxes by claiming they "go towards children's health care" but I'm pretty sure CHP's are federally funded.

Well, to be completely honest, I put those in the bill with the thought that our left-leaning Assemblymembers might be more willing to vote for it. I'd be very willing to accept amendments to remove or add things to this bill though.

[Pheurton Skeurto]

I'm not sure if I'll vote for this or not.  It depends on what Snowstalker proposes and whether or not it gets amended to the bill.  I am not, however, very willing to vote for it in its current form.

I'm very willing to work on amendments to improve the bill.

To my Colleagues,

I'd like to take this time to thank you all for what you've done to help shape me into the person I am today. I entered the Northeast Assembly a long time ago with little to no knowledge of how things work, but with the help of many people, I have learned a lot. In particular, I'd like to thank the following people:

• Napoleon, for being a great friend of mine and helping to get me elected Governor of the region, regardless of what happened afterward.
• Wormyguy, for sort of being my "guide" into politics in not only this region, but this country. We may have our difference nowadays, but I am forever grateful.
  
• Dallasfan, for being my mentor in Atlasian politics. He's been a great friend of mine for almost as long as I've been an Assemblyman.
• Winfield, for doing a fantastic job as Governor in my absence. I've probably said it 100 times, but you far exceeded my expectations and did better than I ever could have.
• Last, but certainly not least, the current Assembly and Governor Snowstalker, for being one of the most diverse group of leaders I have ever encountered. The different ideologies and backgrounds coming together for one purpose-The People-is heartwarming.

I wish you all best of luck in your future endeavors as I go off into the Senate. I'll still be around though, don't worry

Again, thank you all for what you guys have done for me, it really, truly does mean a lot to me.

We will miss your jolly fun you brought to the assembly Jake.

Thank you, RFK

[Pheurton Skeurto]

It was a pleasure having you in the Assembly, Jake.  Good luck in the Senate.

Thank you very much

Thanks Jake, truly meaningful statement. It will be a pleasure to serve with you once more.

Looking forward to it as well!

[Pheurton Skeurto]

My last vote, Aye.

[Pheurton Skeurto]

Support!

[Pheurton Skeurto]

I guess I'm still a member until January

Aye.

[Pheurton Skeurto]

Can I still vote? If so, Aye.

[Pheurton Skeurto]

I'm throwing my tentative support behind Scott for Speaker

[Pheurton Skeurto]

Just chiming in here, I think the Northeast Assembly has more important things to attend to instead of wasting time on a superfluous bill that uses an internet-created veil to ban water. Just my two sense.

[Pheurton Skeurto]

I actually support the legislation current being debated....at least it's not banning water.

[Pheurton Skeurto]

I'm going to work to reduce Federal Taxes in the Senate, but at this point, you'd pay half of your income to the Federal Government if you make more than $1,000,000, so what's the point of making those people pay more? It doesn't sound very pragmatic to have a citizen pay up to 56% of their income in taxes...plus sales taxes...it's all too much.

So do it.  Meanwhile the Region has to function, and revenue is crucial to that end.

Well what I'm saying is, can't the current bill be tabled now until Federal taxes are lowered? I just wrote a bill that would do just that.
